If the Lions make the playoffs keep the current staff, but if the Lions blow it they could fire the current staff, BUT finding a coach that's worth a crap (as you said Golden Latias) will be hard. I don't know...The Lions might just have to settle with Schwartz regardless.

Honestly, if the Lions make the playoffs this season, and can do the same next season that would be great. It would show that the Lions are taking steps forward in the right direction. If the Lions make the playoffs this season, and miss the playoffs next season that's taking a step back IMO.

Hopefully after the season Chud will be fired and we'll make a push towards hiring Jim Tressell as our coach. That's what we should have done in the first place. At least our chances of getting Johnny Manziel should he enter the draft are getting better.

(to above post)
The Packers may have won but there are still 3 games left. We'll see how things go in the next three weeks.

Argh, I couldn't watch the Eagles game so I had to settle for watching the Redskins get blown out.

Oh well, checking the score just made the rest of my day. These past few months I've been kind of on the fence about the Eagles, waiting to see if they could win the big, important games. Between last week and this one, they've proven that they can. With the Cowboys matching the Eagles' record (assuming they win on Monday, that is) in addition to having the tiebreaker advantage, these December games are really all must-win.

From what I'm hearing, though, it doesn't sound like Foles had that great a game. It seems like it was McCoy and the running game in general, plus a Lions collapse, that was more responsible for the win. If that's true, he should do better next week. The Vikings are currently 3-9-1 and Philly actually has a chance at the playoffs provided they're able to keep the momentum going, so there's really no reason for them to be losing next week.

bad seasons are always on the coach.

This is your logic right?

Pretty short sighted. I still can't believe you want McCarthy fired because of Green Bay's first bad season in a LONG time. A season where they lost Aaron Rodgers

And I'll be cheering for the Saints to win that one. If the Lions win the North, that means they'll be playing the 5th ranked team instead of the 6th ranked one. And I'd rather not play the Panthers, home field advantage or not.

That's the logic of a lot of Lions fans from last year, from what I've seen. Heck, everything the Lions do wrong is Schwartz's fault, it seems.

But when they do something right, it's the players, and Schwartz had nothing to do with it.

While many Lion fans do blame Schwartz for everything, I never once said everything is Schwartz fault. Btw, I know your not accusing me, i'm just clarifying making sure you know that I don't think everything is Schwartz's fault. I may come off like that in my posts, but I know for a fact Schwartz isn't to blame for everything. If Stafford throws a INT that's Matts fault. The defense giving up 200 rushing yards to McCoy today is the defenses fault. The Lions fumbling the ball 6 times in the first 18 minutes isn't Schwartz fault.

Game planning is all on the coaching staff, and it's the players job to execute the plays. If the Lions do something right both parties (coaches, and players) should be credited. Give the coach credit for calling a great play, and give the players credit for executing the play well.

EDIT: Titans up 21-10 on the Broncos after a 28 yard touchdown run by Shonn Greene

I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the fans on my Lions blog lol. They seem to think you can coach the bad luck and interceptions and penalties out of players, and since Jim Schwartz hasn't done that, even the interceptions and penalties are, by extension, his fault. They never give him credit for anything, even if he does do something right, and seem to think having Jon Gruden or Tony Dungy replace him is completely realistic, because the media totally LOVES Staff and Megatron and would love to coach them.

^ I figured as so. I'm not surprised that you have to deal with those kind of Lion fans. I'm still laughing at one of my friends. Anytime the Lions lose he posts on Facebook that he will stop watching the Lions, but here he is every Sunday on Facebook complaining about Schwartz, and the Lions.

Honestly, it's like, if you are so upset with this team then quit watching them for good....I've told him that many times.

I know I get frustrated over Lions football, but at the end of the day i'll always watch them.

He might as well just cheer for the Ravens, Giants, and Minny to beat them so Schwartz gets fired. Just like all these idiots on my blog. In my opinion, anyone who does that isn't a real fan.
Honestly, I don't have to deal with them. I just like the blog for news and more detailed analyses lol.

Jets win a game, and don't look terrible doing it. It's too bad their season ended last week against the Dolphins. If this team can just give me an 8-8 season, with Geno and the defense looking good, I'll take it.

So the Suck-aneers won today. They still have to face the 49ers and Saints. They won't win those games that's for sure.

I think its just hilarious that you are ragging on a 4-9 team just because of me. Rather flattering that I mean that much to you really. Do you honestly think its going to hurt my feelings or something?

I would put you on ignore because you really bring no logic whatsoever with your posts, but you've been great entertainment lately

BCSNCG: FSU-Auburn
Orange: Clemson vs. Ohio State (since Ohio State is playing a real team they should lose that one as well)
Sugar: Alabama vs. Oklahoma (my god this is going to be a slaughter)
Fiesta: Baylor vs. UCF (LOL)
Rose Bowl: Michigan State vs. Stanford

I think OSU will lose that because they will come into the game on a let down from crapping away a shot at the title game. I would not be surprised to see Bama lose either for that same reason
